Lol.

So how do you guys actually "know" when your next to empty. My odometer ( w/e its called that measures the amount of gas that I have) isnt accurate. At times, when I get close to empty, It will fluctuate.

your ODOMETER measures the amount of miles you have.

yes, many ppl have the fluctuation "problem".... just fill it up when theres around a 1/4 tank left. Sometimes I fill at 1/4, it will fill 8 gallons, sometimes 9....

*** that gas light.. .I know when its close to empty by how many miles I've gone. But when that gas light comes on and I fill up with 8 gallons...meaning that there are still 4 gallons in the tank I get PISSED! Thats still like 120 miles I could have gone easy!
